Elucid’s Post

Last week, our co-founders, Samuel Knauss and Julius Emmrich co-hosted the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes Summer Academy on Global Health & Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford’s St Edmund Hall. 👉 20 outstanding final-year students - from medicine, public health, psychology, IT, and business - joined to explore: • Global health systems • Social innovation • The Elucid approach to impact-driven health delivery The programme tackled some of the most complex challenges at the intersection of health, technology, and equity. And it only worked because of close collaboration with our health system partners - NHIS GHANA, Elucid, and Doctors for Madagascar - from community nurses to senior public health officials. What stayed with us:  • Importance of co-creation and constantly checking our own positionality.   • Aid is vital in some contexts, but sustainable solutions need smart business models.  • If a government can't provide the infrastructure, look to what the private sector has already built.   • Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise.   • The value of “V-shaped” leadership: combining deep expertise with practical adjacent skills. 👀 For the full recap, head over to Julius Emmrich’s and Samuel Knauss’s profiles.
